Alamo Fire Prevention Event for Thursday, October 13th Public Hearing on proposed rezoning of all of Lot' 7, in the NE corner of Block 32, Alamo Country Townsite FROM Light Commercial District (C-1) TO Commercial District (C); Planning Director Sergio Zavala stated the applicants' site has an auto. service (grandfathered) residentially used & vacant lots to the north & south.. Residentially used lots tot the east and west. The homes in this area have existed ass such for many decades. The Future Land Use Map's designation is General Commercial; which is within the acceptable zoning parameters of the requested 'C'zone. Acacia is definitely a collector street with a street pavement width of (approx.) 70' B-B; itis not az minor residential, street. As one travels Acacia between. Alamo and Tower, one can see the mixture oft uses (restaurants, bar & grill, structures ofworship, upholstery use, etc.). In assessing the rezoning, it appears that the 'C'z zoning is a feasible request int thati itf fronts a1 very wide collector street that provides access to many other 'C' types uses, too. Thel requests are also consistent to the FLUM's designation ofGC; and would appear that any future business use would be aesthetically more pleasing than the current auto: service site (via  Applicanti is Alexander &) Liza Campbell  pie).

Wei note that there are 65 paved parking spaces that arel mostly available, i.e., the warehouse to the SW (La Bodega) has 5 occupants but they close at5 51 pm; thus, the 4. spaces can then be used by the restaurant's staff Driveway access is from Tower (1-way entry), and wrapping around the structure and exiting northward to Railroad Avenue.

This was Staf's comments last) year: "The concern ofnoise emanating onto the residences to the north is an obvious one. The commitment from the applicant is that the noise volume will bei maintained at ai reasonable level. This behooves his business because. IF there are numerous and consistent noise complaints, this will only jeopardize his CUPi investment from possibly being sanctioned/fined or having the CUP terminated. Ifneededj for special events, there should be uniformed. security personnel engaged, too."1 In staff'sf final analysis, the renewal request seems. satisfactory since they appear to be substantially. sensitive to the neighborhood (4 conduct calls in over. 300+ days).
